Foreword

Machine Learning proved its usefulness in many applications in Image Processing and Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, Satellite imaging, Remote Sensing, Surveillance, etc., over the past decade. At the same time, Machine Learning, particularly Artificial Neural Networks has evolved and demonstrated excellent performance over traditional machine learning algorithms. These methods are known as Deep Learning.

Nowadays, Deep Learning has become the researcher's first choice in contrast to traditional machine learning due to its apex performance on speech, image, and text processing. Deep learning algorithms provide efficient solutions to problems ranging from image and speech processing to text processing. The research on deep learning is getting enriched day by day as we witness new learning models.

Deep learning models significantly impacted speech, image, and text-domain and raised the performance bar substantially in many standard evaluations. Moreover, new challenges are easily tackled by utilizing deep learning, which older systems could not have handled. However, it is challenging to comprehend, let alone guide, the learning process in deep neural networks; there is an air of uncertainty about exactly what and how these networks learn.

This book aims to provide the audience with a basic understanding of deep learning and its different architectures. Background knowledge of machine learning helps explore various aspects of deep learning. By the end of the book, I hope that the reader understands different deep learning approaches, models, pre-trained models, and gains familiarity with implementing various deep learning algorithms using multiple frameworks and libraries.
